Extractions: North Africa in Antiquity This theme explores the history and people of North Africa from the earliest times to the arrival of the Muslim Arabs. ReadingBrett: pp. 10-80 Laroui: pp. 15-79 The following is largely based on Brett and Fentress The Berber origins and the early formations of cities and kingdoms demonstrate a problem common in newly formed states, the need for a clear principle of succession. Major problems arise because of the lack of a method of succession and it proves to be their downfall. The attempts to Romanize North Africa though very influential on the culture, eventually fail and after being governed by Carthaginian, Roman, Vandal and then Byzantine governments, a reversion to the indigenous tribal structures takes place. The Origins of the Berbers lies in the Capsian stone industries of the eastern Maghreb or modern southern Tunisia. The Wet period after 7000 BCE allowed for this area to be inhabited by a population composed of various racial elements. The increase in productivity of the land allowed for population growth and a subsequent western expansion. Berber languages are all strikingly similar, suggesting a uniform movement of peoples in a relatively short period of time. Around 3000 BCE contacts with the Mediterranean islands begin and by 1000 BCE North Africa is not very different from the rest of the Western Mediterranean. Most communities were farmers with a strong pastoral element in their economy and fairly elaborate cemeteries. By this time Berber languages were established throughout North Africa but there's no evidence of how this took place. The population at this time is a range of Mediterranean types.

Extractions: Nkiru Nzegwu Africa, in ages past, was the nursery of science and literature; from thence they ere taught in Greece and Rome, so that it was said that the ancient Greeks represented their favourite goddess of Wisdom Minerva as an African princess. Pilgrimages were made to Africa in search of knowledge by such eminent men as Solon, Plato, Pythagoras; and several came to listen to the instruction of the African Euclid, who was at the head of the most celebrated mathematical school in the world, and who flourished 300 years before the birth of Christ. James Africanus Beale Horton, West African Countries and Peoples and A Vindication of the African Race , London: W. J. Johnson, 1868, 59. In the critically acclaimed Black Athena vol. 1 , Martin Bernal, following the lead of James Africanus Beale Horton (1868), and George James' Stolen Legacy , addresses the ways in which, from the seventeenth century onward, the white intellectual structure of knowledge and its racist model of interpretation distorted global history. In Race in North America , Audrey Smedley makes a similar argument, tracing the origin and evolution of the racist Eurocentric world-view through "popular (folk) beliefs about human differences" from the sixteenth century to the twentieth century (1993, 13-35). While she acknowledges the force of biological arguments that race is not a legitimate scientific category, she is very much aware of the preeminent status of race in organizing social reality in the United States along lines of racial hierarchy. This institutionalized ideology of racism causes her to conclude that the prescribed epistemologies and conceptual structures maintains an enervating position of inequality for those, whom peoples of European descent in the United States, perceive as alien.

One example is the so-called Kente cloth made by the Ashanti. Many of the old ones are woven from silk yarn obtained by disassembling silk textiles from Asia that came to Africa by way of European traders.
Mainus' Story The baga would hop from one class to another growling under his military style in India where indigenous people hugged trees to save them from loggers. http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/mainusstory.html
Extractions: Struggle for Learning: Story of an Un-caged Parrot Mainus Sultan Fifteen years ago, I happened to engage myself in conversation with a group of people who were never schooled. The persons I talked with included a snake charmer, a female herbal medicine practitioner, a dervish (spiritual person) of the sufi tradition, a y atra (folk opera) actor and a basket weaver. I was interested to collect their stories of how they had learned different skills and acquired relevant knowledge. Over time, most of the tales I heard have faded in my memory the way water unevenly wears down a piece of soap. It was the basket weaver, Antaj Ullah, whom I remember most. He was also a folk singer, capable of composing sophisticated verse. In response to my question regarding learning, he sang a song. The message of the song was that "human beings learn from samsara (social reality) the same way a fish learns the trick of swimming". In contrast to the experience of these rural personalities, in a mainstream social system formal school claims to be the only legitimate venue for learning. However, a deeper reflection based on experience and observation suggests that learning occur in social context.

Extractions: The Senegambian Akonting The Origin of the Banjo Daniel Lemon Jatta (MBA) One of the earliest artistic works of the Jola ethnic group. A possible ancestor to the Southern American folk gourd banjo. The Leading Banjo-like Lute in the Senegambian region of West Africa Today. The lost of the Southern American folk gourd banjo, which was one of the first artistic work of humankind both in the old and new world, together with its wonderful artists who created blues, jazz and rock music, should not be allowed to happen again to any other instrument be it African, Asian, European or American. //Svensk text// I honestly agree, there is a considerable volume of work produced by both European and American scholars on the modern commercial American banjo, but there is still a great imbalance on the amount of work done on the Southern American folk gourd banjo, which evolved the modern banjo, by the same scholars. The progress I achieved in the southern American folk banjo research, over the past 29 years, owes a great deal to the humble work of my father and mother who taught me my culture and its traditions, the Akonting players and Akonting historians of Mandinari and Cassamance that I met in the Senegambian region during the entire course the research, as well as my sponsors and supporters at Vuxensskolan (Greta Englund and Gaston Willaman) and the rest of the institutions staff. I am also indebted to my great friend and banjo scholar Ulf Jagfors who first accepted my research, help to introduce me to the banjo community, and who continues to share with me his research interest and keep me informed of all the new developments on the banjo.
